Irma Real Estate
Wainwright County grain and oil country — Highway 14 village with a straightforward Alberta character
Living in Irma, Alberta
Irma sits on Highway 14 in the County of Wainwright No. 61, 40 km west of Wainwright town — a compact agricultural village in the part of east-central Alberta where grain farming and oilfield services have coexisted for decades. At 460 residents, it's the kind of community that doesn't need to advertise itself: the school is there, the grain elevators are there, and the highway that connects to Wainwright's hospital and high school runs right through the middle of it.
CFB Wainwright — one of Canada's largest military training bases — is a significant presence in the regional economy, providing stable employment and consistent demand for housing in communities along the Highway 14 corridor. Irma benefits from that stability without being directly in Wainwright's shadow. Home prices in the $90,000–$195,000 range make it one of the more accessible incorporated communities in Wainwright County, and the mix of grain farming and oilfield service employment gives the local economy more than one leg to stand on.
